We let them register our credit cards passenger by passenger - so exchanging the cards would be much more easier later. The "431" means that we booked the beverage package Allegrissimo (23.00 EUR per night / 2013). All of us had table 825 in Le Arabesque Main Dining Room. What I did not like too much: my cabin number was on the card: everyone who find the card has access to my cabin.

We had no need to book excursions. Here they had only some for guests in transit to Brasil.

For using the Spa we had no interest either.

Für das Spa besteht ebenfalls kein Interesse.

Und bald geht es schon an Bord.

And soon we went towards the ship.

Small problem: there was no programme in German for embarking guests but only for debarking guests and transit guests. So we read in the English version "informal" but in the German version "elegant". At the same time we let them swap the cards from Hanna and Bruno because Hannas husband disliked the idea to share a double bed with Hanna. But Bruno disliked it too. As all credit cards were registered passenger by passenger it was not any problem. Only Rosa need to see the purser. As she did not carry her credit card with her she need to place a deposit of 30.00 EUR in cash (Allegrissimo-package and service charge). You must always in a positive balance to your favour. Even you want to pay in cash: it is never wrong to have a credit card with you for the last day.

We allowed us to have a first drink and tried our cards. Not every card was registered for the revenue. If everyone had a package anyway it did not play any role - so they booked the revenue on one guest. But you need to sign for the zero-revenue.

Bruno was happy because the cappucino was really good. Meanwhile all bars had the same Barista-coffee-machine. So you must not walk anymore from to bar to bar to find the very best Barista-coffee-machine like on MSC FANTASIA.
